Not sure about your reasons, but yes, see this.

Sure, pretty common. There's a ton of utilities that do this, here's one in random: Sector Editor.

Edit: the answer to your previous question is "yes", that BASIC code will work on both C16 and C64.

I think the ASM code should work, too, as all the called KERNAL functions should be in the same place on the +4.

Some MINOR modifications might be needed, like the LDA $BA, but you would probably modify that anyway.
